Camp Nebagamon

Photos from the 90th

Each person who attended the 90th Summer Reunion at camp over Labor Day weekend certainly left with his or her own favorite memories. Maybe it was the scene of dozens of alumni hanging out on the H-dock in the late afternoon or at the Artshop for Happy Hour (which generally lasted longer than an hour). Perhaps it was the memories shared by current and former directors at the Council Fire or by the extended camp family at a Sunday Service held beneath the big tent on the Lower Diamond. It could be Reed Maidenberg’s wonderful original song about Camp Nebagamon, unveiled at the GTC. Or maybe it was when some 400 voices joined together to sing “Thanks for the Pines” a short while later. Of course, it could be the many re-enactments of yesteryear, whether that meant taking a canoe out for a paddle, playing softball on the Upper Diamond, strolling to Dairy Queen, or sharing a cabin with a bunch of guys whom you’ve known since you were nine years old.

Some numbers from the 90th: nearly 400 attendees, a 176-page “Thanks for the Pines” book to take home, 85 summers covered at the Countdown, a 50-second video offering snippets of the weekend, 45 (or so) keylogs placed on the Council Fire, an excellent 14-minute “90th Reunion Film” (by Hugh Broder and Jeremy Bloom), 12 GTC acts, 6 directors telling tales, 4 nightly Friendship Fires (and 4 Fabulous HITS Brothers in town), 3 delicious dinners in the Lower Diamond tent, 2 Rec Hall lunch sittings daily, and 1 drop-in from the Yo-Yo Islands.

And now, 68 photos that tell only a very small part of the story (click on a thumbnail to get the big picture):
